Introduction
Use the IL Early Childhood report to submit early childhood data to the ISBE SIS. This report contains information for currently enrolled students in grade level Pre-Kindergarten. The state uses this information to identify the pre-kindergarten students in your school district. Any student who has exited your district will not appear on the report.
The report format is comma-delimited (CSV) with a .txt extension. If a student field is blank for a mandatory field, the field default is used in the extract. If a student field is blank for an optional field, the field is blank on the extract.
